I want to put a chuchero with 2 500rms 10 inch(4ohms each) 3 120rms tweeters (8ohms Each) and a 500rms sub(dual 4ohms), was going to buy taramps 2000x4 amp but i cant due to the lpf and hpf being together on channel 3&4 (sub and highs, channel 1 bridged for mids) is there another amp i can use (1500x2 At 2 ohms and a 500 At 2 ohms

Just tweeters and subs?
(2) 500 rms, 10" @ 4ohms each, so 2 ohm 1,000w channel
(1) 500 rms sub @ 4ohm dvc, --- so 2 ohm 500w channel, &
(3) 120rms tweeters (8 ohms each)

Is the chuchero made for 3 tweeters? I wouldn't use 3 tweeters. Not sure how you plan on wiring that up, but either get a 4th, or just use two of them. Four is usually too many for most people, but it depends on what you're going for. That would have to be one unique setup for 3 to sound good. You're either going to over power one side, or you put one in the middle, and your left to right / balance is funky.
If you use four you can wire 2 channels at 240w @ 4ohm. If you use one tweeter each, 8 ohm is unusual, and you might have to wire those in series with an 8 ohm mid, to get it down to 4 ohms per channel.

As for the subs, I've never seen a single amp do something like that.
I think your 4 options are:
* You might be able to find something that bridges 2 channels for 1000w x 1 @ 2 ohm, and a 3rd channel for 500w @ 2ohm.
* just use the two, and go 1000w x 1ch @ 2ohm, or 500w x 2ch @ 4ohm, OR
* you use two amps just for your subs. (I think I would try to change something else before using two amps). OR
* You go with the 1000w x 1ch @ 2ohm / 500w x 2ch @ 4ohms (for those 10" subs), & a 3 or 5 ch amp for your third sub and your tweeters, plus whatever mids you haven't mentioned.

What about mids?

The Two 10 Inch Are Mids, So 2 10 Inch Prv Mids , 3 4inch tweeters And A 12inch Sub And Yeah I Was Planning To Wire The tweeters In Parallel To Bring The Ohms To 2.6 , But Also Another Question, I Wont Be Able To Leave The Filter On Full And Use A Passive Crossover (One On The Tweeters And One On The Sub)
 
attachment is not good. Are the (3) 4" tweeters all on the chuchero?
Yes, I Want To Make It Look Like This , Everything Is In The Box (2 Mids And 3Tweeters)

So let me ask you. Where is this box going to sit, that it fits and has tweeters on it? (Usually these go in a trunk. Doesn't make sense to put tweeters back there).

Also, I would look around and see if you have a large bowl, or bucket, maybe even a pot or frying pan, and you might be able to get a better circle on those if you don't have the tools that will make it.

They Will Go In The Rear Seat And Yeah I Got The Tools
 
It just seems like you're trying to make mismatched stuff work together easily. I would fully expect to make all of THESE speakers work together, you would need 2 maybe 3 amps. I think if anything, I would be looking for a small amp and put the tweeters on their own amp. You would be sacrificing a little, but if you have all your tweeters in one location like this, you aren't going to get a balance anyways. You won't get a left to right variance. You COULD put them on a small MONO, 1 ch amp, and put an inline high pass filter on it. 2.6 ohms is right in the middle of 2 ohm and 4 ohm(when looking at wattage). So if you want 360w @ 2.6ohms, then you would be looking about 250w @ 4 ohm x 1ch and 470w @ 2 ohm x 1ch. Or 200w @ 4 ohm x 1ch, and 520w @ 2 ohm x 1ch.

Then you have your two mids and your sub that you should be able to fit on one (second) amp.
I think you will have a better chance of making this work with two amps, and if the tweeters are on their own amp.

Alright Man Thank You
